Patented July 20, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.

This invention relates to garments generally, but more particularly totwo-piece garments such as pajamas or the like.

One object of the invention is the provision of a garment of the naturereferred to, comprising a coat and a pair of trousers which may bejoined together to form a one-piece suit or garment which will affordthe maximum amount of comfort for the wearer. I

Another object of the invention is to provide such a garment with linesof perforations or hemstitching at various portions thereof, at whichlines the garment may be cut to adjust or alter the length of anydesired portion thereof.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a garment of thischaracter in which the trouser portion is provided with loops at thewaist portion thereof which are adapted to pass through correspondingopenings in the coat portion so that a belt may be passed or drawnthrough the extending loops to unite the two garment sections into onegarmentor suit.

Other objects and advantages will appear as the nature of theimprovements is better understood, the invention consistingsubstantially in the novel arrangement and co-relation of parts hereinfully described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, whereinsimilar reference characters are used to describe corresponding partsthroughout the several views, and then finally pointed out andspecifically defined and indicated in the appended claims.

The disclosure made the basis of exemplifying the present inventiveconcept suggests a practical embodiment thereof, but the invention isnot to be restricted to the exact details of this disclosure, and thelatter, therefore, is to be understood from an illustrative, rather thana restrictive standpoint.

The inventive idea involved is capable of receiving a variety ofmechanical expressions, one of which, for the purpose of illustration,is shown in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a front viewof the coat portion of the garment;

Fig. 2 is a front view of the trouser portion of the garment;

Fig. 3 is a fragmental rear view of the trousers;

Fig. 4 is a fragmental view of the lower portion of the coat in unfoldedor open position, showing the inner side thereof provided withcoat-fastening means;

Fig. 5 is a fragmental elevational view showing a picot edge where thegarment has been cut for shortening same;

Fig. 6 is a fragmental front view of a modified form of my improvedgarment wherein the coat and trousers are connected by means of a beltpassing through loops on the trousers which loops extend outwardlythrough cut-outs or openings 5 inthe coat, and

Fig. 7 is a fragmental sectional view taken on line 1-1, Fig. 6.

Referring now to the drawing in detail, II] indicates the coat portionof a pajama suit or other 10 garment and II the trouser portion of suchgarment. The coat portion of the suit is provided with sleeves I2 whichmay be secured in place either by sewing or they'may be fastened bybuttons and button holes or by separable fasteners 15 I3 shown .in Fig.1.

The sleeves I2 are each preferably provided with three rows or lines ofhemstitching I4, I5 and I6, which form cutting areas so that the sleevesmay fit persons with longer or shorter 20 I arms. If it is found thatthe sleeves are too long for a particular person, they may be cut alongthe line of hemstitching I4, for a half or threequarter sleeve at I5,and for a short sleeve at IS. The sleeves may be entirely removed byseparat- 25 ing the fasteners I3.

At or near the bottom of the coat I0 there is provided a hemstitchedcutting zone or line H and a series or lines of buttonholes I8, I9 and20 which cooperate with buttons 2|, 22, and 23 for 30 adjustablysecuring the trousers II to the coat I0. 1

The trousers are provided near the waist-line with a cutting line 24similar to the cutting line H, the said cutting lines being providedso-that 5 the coat and trousers may be cut atthe said lines to preventbulkiness at the waist-line when worn by short persons. The leg portionsof the trousers are provided with hemstitched cutting lines 25, 26 and2'! so that the said trousers may 40 be worn by tall or short persons orthey may be worn as shorts by cutting along the lines 21. When the coator trousers are cut along their respective cutting lines a picot edgewill result as shown at 30 Fig. 5 thus preventing the raveling 45 of thegarment at the cut edges. If desirable, the trousers may be providedwith a flap 3| at the seat portion which may be held in closed positionby a button or snap fastener 32.

Instead of providing the coat and trousers with button-holes I8, I9 and20 and buttons 2 I, 22 and 23, rows of snap fasteners may be provided.In Fig. 4, I have shown the inner surface of the lower 5 portion of thecoat II) as provided with portions 33 of such snap fasteners, thecomplementary 56 portions of such fasteners (not shown) being secured tothe upper portion of the trousers.

In Figs. 6 and '7, I have shown a modified form.

of the invention wherein, instead of using buttons and button-holes, orsnap fasteners to connect the'trousers l I to the coat III, I providethe trousers with one or more rows of loops 34 and the coat withcorresponding rows of cutouts or openings 35 through which the loops areadapted to extend outwardly and I pass a belt 36 through the said loopsand close same in any suitable manner as for instance by buttons or snapfasteners 31. The belt may be made of the same material as the garmentor any other suitable material and may be cut to such length that itwill fit about the body of the wearer when closed as loosely as the coatitself, the function of the belt being merely to connect the twoportions of the garment and not to tighten them about the waist line.

From the foregoing, it will be seen that I have provided a two-piecegarment suitable for men, women and children which can be readilyadjusted to any desired length and one that will give a maximum ofcomfort to the wearer.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent is:

1. A two piece garment comprising a coat and a pair of trousers, saidcoat having shoulder portions and extending to the waistline of thewearer, said trousers having a crotch and leg portions, a severance linenear the bottom ofthe coat, a severance line near the top of thetrousers,
